What is a JST file?

JST files mostly belong to Text Editor. JST files are used for different purposes, depending on the context.
  • JavaScript Template File: This file holds template code that includes JavaScript syntax. Libraries such as Underscore.js use these to embed dynamic content into HTML. The file is text-based and you can view or edit it with any basic text editor.
  • Gobblin Job State File: In some workflows, a JST file records state information for tasks managed by Apache Gobblin. It contains job-related data that tracks progress and task status. More details are available at Gobblin.
  • Encrypted File: At times, the JST extension is also assigned to encrypted files used by a crypto application. These files require specific decryption tools to reveal their contents.
  • FilExt.com notes: To use these files, first inspect the content using a text editor. If the content appears as readable code or state data, it is likely a JavaScript template or a job state file. If the content is unreadable gibberish, the file might be encrypted and needs a proper decryption key.

    How to open a JST file

    You need a suitable software like Text Editor to open a JST file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your JST file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a JST file directly in the browser:.
